  • Doing some quick searching, I don’t think SAM (AMD’s name for resizeable BAR) is available on the 5000 series, just 6000 and up. You’d need an AMD CPU as well.

    I’ve been running a 6700XT with an Intel CPU and it hasn’t been bad, but not great either. I’ve had trouble with the most recent graphics drivers; I tried to update in May and had to deal with a bunch of blackscreens before finally reverting to November’s drivers. Luckily AMD has old drivers available directly on their website.

    Messing with the GPU’s performance settings within Adrenaline (AMD’s version of geforce experience) is also super buggy, only working for a few hours at best before crashing and reverting. I’m talking anything physical, from overclocking to just increasing ambient fan speeds. Their bug reporter is also terrible! Changing render settings for specific games has worked fine, as well as deactivating the ingame overlay, but while I think you should play with it just to see how it works for you, I can only recommend using Adrenaline as a temperature monitor.

    At the end of the day though it’s not much buggier than my ancient dual 680 setup was lol, and it’s like half the price of Nvidia stuff so I’d say you probably won’t regret the purchase


  • Extremely rarely do racists, homophobes, transphobes, and the like specifically say “I hate x,” because then it gets harder to rationalize that away both to yourself and others.

    That said, yes, she has. Lots of claiming being trans isn’t a legitimate identity. Referring to trans women as “trans identifying men.” Wrote a literal novel about trans women being serial killers, sniffing panties and hanging out in bathrooms to claim their next victims. Trying to speak for cis lesbians and claiming trans women are especially dangerous to them, despite cis lesbians being one of the least transphobic demographics and not being a lesbian herself. Retweeting hateful statements from even more blatant transphobes. Oh and I nearly forgot, straight up taking the label “TERF” and wearing it like it’s somehow a badge of pride.

    I know you said you don’t want to watch some super long youtube video about it but I’m going to link to two of them anyway; it’s a complex topic! They’re pretty funny and come from the perspective of a trans woman with a background in academia. This one is pretty recent and comes with the added bonus of teaching you a lot about the history of social justice in general, and the fight for LGBT rights in particular. This one is older but is more focused on Rowling. Just keep in mind she’s done much worse since that video came out.
